I always mean to order samples of cool products to offer my clients, but for some reason I never really get around to it.  Well, a couple of weeks ago I managed to sit down and figure out exactly what I was interested in ordering, and I placed orders for 2 of those products.   The first one is called a float wrap, and is a photographic print wrapped around masonite.  Padding is added between the print and the masonite to protect it and to give it a raised look, and the print is then protected with laminate.  The back has paper backing and a 3/4″ thick gatorboard block with holes for hanging vertically or horizontally.  The gatorboard block allows the float wrap to extend out from the wall, which creates a subtle drop shadow on the wall when the light hits it.  (You can see it to the left in this image.)  I love the look of it!

One of the reasons I always hesitate to sit down and place orders for samples is because I have such a hard time deciding which images to use.  I’ve loved this picture of Joyce & Matt’s August, 2009 wedding, so I decided to go with it.  (Plus Joyce works at the local coffee shop I meet clients at, so I knew I could get her valuable opinion on whether or not she loved the product and thought I should offer them.)  This one hangs on the wall above my desk, as you can see here.  Both of these are 16×24, which is a perfect size if you don’t want any of the image lost when you order.

When I showed it to Joyce the first time she LOVED it, went home and told Matt about it, and they decided to order one as their Valentine’s gift to each-other.  Theirs came the other day, and they picked a different image.  Here’s the front.

The back.  You can see all of the holes for hanging.

The edge.

Another view of the back.

Cat’s love them, too, I guess.  Thursday popped out from behind to take a closer look while I was shooting.

Float wraps are available in sizes from 8×10-20×30.  If you’re interested in pricing send me an email!
